What Are Shift Offers?

Shift Offers let employees offer their scheduled shifts when they can’t work — no texts, no emails, no stress.

When an employee offers a shift, it becomes an Open Shift, allowing other eligible teammates to claim it. Once a claim is submitted, a manager must approve the transfer before the shift is reassigned.

Please note: you may not have Shift Offers enabled on your account if you cannot see the feature in your MyZimply app.

How to Cancel a Shift Offer
